Captain Glory: Tropical Invasion

Share Collapse

Author Comments

This is my first game.


The intention was not to make something with great graphics or complex mechanics. The intention was to finish something. Thus, we have the simple arcade shooter.


You play as Captain Glory, the last line of defense against a fruity invasion of delicious evil pineberries. Even one can infect your entire mothership and fleet.


The objective is simple. Last as long as you can against a horde of evil fruit and get your highest score.


Controls:


Spacebar - Shoot laser


Arrow Keys - Navigate


Power Ups:


(GREEN) Fusion Vial - Restores 10 HP


(RED)  Fusion Crystal - Recharges your beam cannon


Tips:


- Don't spam shoot. Learn to time your shots carefully.


- It's better to lose some HP than to lose the game. Use your ship as your weapon if you won't make a shot in time.


Will make a sequel... eventually.

The art was really great. I like the style. I'm sure some improvements could improve the game. Perhaps a visual explanation for why you need to stop the yellow strawberries, like you see a planet or something. I was strangely addicted to the game, I think that the simplicity works well.

Good work on completing a project and publishing, that's a big step. I'm excited to see what you can create in the future.

just opinions first I think there should be a choice to turn the audio off for people who do not wanna mute there computer and u could use a better starting screen and when you lose and it says the mother board is infected there should be a menu screen but as for someone who also struggle on there first game I know how it is

deadvelvet responds:

Absolutely! Sorry that the music got so irritating. I completely agree.

A better starting screen could have also definitely helped the cause.

The story is that behind your ship is a mothership. The pineberries are carrying a virus that can infect Captain Glory's entire fleet should it come into contact with their base.

And you're right, the first game is always the hardest. :) The game I'm working on now should be a pleasant surprise to anyone that's played this.

It's not a horrible game, and for a first, it's good. Still, the overheat part has always pissed me off in games. This one overheats very fast, and so that's annoying.

Keep at it. Play games and watch movies here and you'll get plenty of material for new ideas and future projects. Keep at it and don't get discouraged. :)

deadvelvet responds:

I feel that the main challenge I wanted to present to the player was having enemies spawn, not in massive numbers, maybe a maximum of 3-4 at a time, which would cause the player to have to think very carefully about where they place their lasers.

If that just isn't working for you, then perhaps there are things that I definitely need to reconsider when working on my next project. Thank you for your encouragement and criticism, it is very helpful.

Good premise, needs work. I would say this game should have a little more polish and shine. But if the game were to be released to the public as is it would not be a huge disappointment, just another mediocre game that could be good, great even but isn't and just needs more work.

deadvelvet responds:

Wow, that is definitely a compliment. I never thought I'd get a statement from someone that this could be "great" with a little more polish! I will definitely think about making drawings a little higher in quality with my new projects. Not a huge disappointment is more than okay with me. Thank you!

I LOVE scrollers... this one just didn't do it for me.... maybe too simple?

deadvelvet responds:

Thanks for your response. I will play more arcade shooters in the meantime, should I return to this genre. Despite the game being intentionally simple (due to a small scope of my first project) I will attempt to flesh out what is missing.
